How did you know which role you wanted to go into?

Bethan W.

Officer Commanding British Army Band Sandhurst

Hi there, thanks for your question.

So most people join a Regiment or Corps that they feel matches their interests. While we all undertake the same basic military training, there are many ways to diversify after that throughout your career and a huge range of roles available. I would recommend you pick a trade that excites and challenges you, and sparks your particular interests. You could try the Army's Role Finder tool here: https://apply.army.mod.uk/roles

You have asked this question in the 'Music & Ceremonial Insiders' area, so perhaps you play an instrument, ride horses, enjoy history and tradition, or have an ambition to perform on the world's biggest stages representing the British Army and your country?

If so, the Corps of Army Music could be for you. Find out more about us here: https://www.army.mod.uk/who-we-are/corps-regiments-and-units/corps-of-army-music/

Let us know if you have any more questions.
